I can imagine a future where your insurance premiums are tied to your digital finger print. Your risk profile for credit is tied to your activities.
Your social credit (china) because you like to drink alcohol drops so low you cannot buy a flight, stay in a hotel or shop at certain places. Your position in the world is monitored to be able to collect you at any time.
Your price for goods depends on what friends you have (correlation of purchases across locations and times), your targeted advertising profile gets that much more sophisticated that you end up with a lot more crap. And then as market share increases the prices start to rise on transactions.
you can no longer buy anything as a tourist as governments clamp down, your children no longer can freely shop without a digit means.
I have two of these. My biggest gripe is the 5ghz WiFi bridge I have drops out every few minutes for a few seconds. I am running them hot as the location for my bridge is not cooled and can reach 70c running temperature with abient heat of 35-36c in the day
Its a good thing. Police in China have them on their vests. But they must be tamper proof like in shanghai other wise they just record what they choose
I strongly agree with you. Xinchejian in shanghai is going to run one next month. No business agenda. Just a challenge. You own what you make. Its basically a weekend party. Lots of booze and food. The plan is to put the others to shame and have a long party! Along with hacking with fun people. Its like the hacker space but more people doing stuff!
Just saw a demo from dfrobot last night at xinchejian hackerspace that has super potential. It was designed to make entry to arduino much more attainable. At a 20rmb retail price and 3pwm 3analog spi and a tiny connector for programming makes it a much better solution for wearable electronics. They said its coming out in Feb.
I've got the next one up. Mygica a11 I like it a lot. Very fast. I put plex for android on it. 3 USB ports. HDMI port. No sperate audio jack but that's OK. Was half the cost of the apple TV and also has airplay on it.
i have to agree, safety is the least of their concern, much more work is done to get into a chinese datacenter unescorted than to pass security at the airports, but this is world wide not just America. security at the airports is for show, many times i've forgotten to empty my bag before flying and found out i've got a multipurpose screwdriver set and once i forgot to take my dive knife out of my carry on. and went through 2 international and one domestic airport.
easy, find an XSS vulnerability in either the MPAA or the RIAA site and link it to copyrighted material, then also target government websites with the same XSS vulnerability and do the same, repeat over again until change.
When it comes down to design the client owns the 'final work' not the work created to get the final product, work is licensed for the use it is intended and modifications to it are not allowed, this is typical business in any country.
this is the difference in "work for hire" and "contracted work". when working with an outside agency for instance the client has a lower overhead, they don't pay licensing for software, computers, operating system, salaries, insurance for the company or people working on the product which in turn gives them a lower cost, but they dont own the work used to create the final product.
heres an example, client comes to me with video and expects it to be on their site in an accessible format, i license the software to create the work in an accessible format, do they own the software i licensed? its the same as work used to create the final product and the code used in the work. again they can pay 4x-8x the price per month and hire someone to work for them under a contract and own all of the work or contract it out where the contract stipulates the deliverables.
Works well, done in every agency in every country.
heres anouther one, client hires a photography studio, they require final results, now, do they own the camera used to create the final work? do they even own the full rights to the work to use anywhere.. the short answer is no, not unless its stipulated in the contract.
remember when dealing with people that have no clue about an industry but need something from it you need to find a way to explain things on their level, most people understand the windows analogy i use.
you'd have to be pretty stupid to sign over all the original work in a contract if you've been contracted to produce a final product, its a bit like flash, clients either dont read the contracts very closely or they think they own original art work when they only own the final product.
i work as a designer and get this problem every time, they either ask for the original files and i reply that its outside of the scope of the contract or i try to explain to them in a simple term they might understand.. "When you buy windows do you own the original code used to create the system? What makes you think this is any different?"
Reason its this way is that i reuse a lot of code from project to project or i write some hot script i would love to use myself, its imperative i retain ownership ad protect my work from modifications, of course i have a value on the work if they want to buy ownership.

I think the problem is that today they demonstrated they can switch the TOS then tomorrow add in the, yes we have a list of all your media files now.
One way to shut them down is to bring a lawsuit from a country with some type of data retention law that prohibits the export of user data.

In China you run your own local DNS that forwards to opendns over alternative ports. All ddwrt and openwrt support this.
Its how you get to Facebook in China.
Lol. Just got out the office. 330am. Going home to continue before my 8am flight.

Mk802iii much more powerful and cheaper than the raspberry pi
Photos or it didn't happen!
Most of the blocks are by DNS .. Using opendns alternative ports solves this or DNS over TCP
It took me 15 minutes to shut the computer down! You just push the power button now.
in a way it's a super cheap education..
"we've been forked" - cool
just added in a proxy thomas, waiting for the primary dns to get updated... thanks though :)
planning/thinking and action are two different things, we've witnessed a lot of thinking at XinCheJian..
you don't have to be an idiot or drunk to see what this article is really.. what do the opposition want to provoke... very well timed

under 90usd now for a 2.5" WD in a case, rsync is my choice
mydomain.com has been good to me for the last 6 years, good prices, good service, quick support, only thing that bugs me is no ipv6
